The effect of socioeconomic status on mortality in the critically ill
Background Admission to intensive care units (ICUs) is determined by degree of organ failure and the need for close monitoring. It is associated with high intensity, expensive treatments. Socioeconomic status (SES) is an important determinant of health outcomes, but few studies have assessed its effect on outcome from critical illness. Aims We investigated the association of SES with short and long-term mortality for ICU patients in Scotland. Met…
P51 Surviving intensive care
Background Intensive care units (ICUs) are an expensive resource. However, this expense does not end at hospital discharge. ICU survivors continue to experience significant morbidity. As the demand for ICU is likely to increase substantially, there is a need to establish how much health care resource survivors consume following discharge from hospital. This will enable appropriate service planning and policy development to meet the needs of these…

Pre-term Foetal Life Times in Scotland
A proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the association between ten categorical covariates and the risk of pre-term delivery for women having their first child and women in subsequent pregnancies. An adaptation of the model for use with grouped survival times made it possible to model foetal life times between 28 and 36 completed weeks of gestation for 67,000 Scottish singleton births in 1981. The use of the model was justified by testi…
A Stochastic Model for Measles Epidemics in a Multi-Region Setting
In this paper, a regionally based stochastic model for the diffusion of measles epidemics is developed. The model is tested with an application to ten contiguous sub-areas centred on Bristol. IN this paper we explore some ways in which a stochastic version of the classic Hamer-Soper deterministic model for measles epidemics (Soper, 1929) may be extended to analyse patterns of measles outbreaks in a regional setting. The models developed are appli…
